Gosnell’s story is not the only one of its kind

June 12, 2013

I don't now, and I'll probably never understand the pro-abortion mentality; or, the reasons for the pro-aborts and their dogged clinging to this death for babies agenda. Of course, they are aided and abetted by our media. However, I want to congratulate The Journal for their disclosure article on Dr. Gosnell. If you don't know who he is and what he did: shame on you! As a Christian or a person of any faith, you very well should know what is being done to the vulnerable in our society.

But his story is not an isolated one. Let me tell you what you see at an abortion killing mill. People who cannot pray for these women and their babies, and offer them help, need not approach these death camps. It would be and is, beyond our human influence. We see young women, who, far from the "joy" of exercising their "rights" look like they are headed to a deadly place. In reality, they are. Their "boyfriends," who, in most cases threaten to end their relationships if this abortion is not performed, always want no part of the advice to let their baby live and get help for their girlfriend. Many times we tell them of the brutal "doctor" who will harm their girlfriend, only to get a look of total indifference. The "boyfriends" wait outside, many times, playing games or whatever on an electronic apparatus. This, while their girlfriend will suffer irreparable physical and emotional harm; and, their baby will be murdered.

When the "mothers" come out of the death camp, they are taking baby steps, shuffling their feet, sheer agony on their pale faces, unable to even look up, and hanging on to their "devoted boyfriends." He just looks relieved it's over. Now, he can have his enjoyment, while she suffers and his baby has died. We offer help in giving them, if they'll take it, a list of places these women can go for help. Sometimes, they do go. And, sometimes, they return to help us warn other women. Sometimes, we offer these women the same help many pro-life centers offer, before the awful experience an abortion will bring to their own person, added to death of their baby. Some do take the advice and return to help us save other women and their babies. Some return to show us with great pride their beautiful babies.

Last winter, this young man, accompanied by his girlfriend, just didn't have that angry "get away" look that we get most of the time from both persons. I quickly offered him a pamphlet listing all the places they could go to for help. Praise the Lord: they came out of the abortion mill and said they were going for that help. That's when it becomes all worth it! I'll never forget the look on his face: his expression went from a look of despair to a totally "relieved and grateful" look. I saw in his eyes that all would be well with them.
